Carplounge GPS Autopilot V3

Carplounge autopilot, for use with food Carplounge boats from 1 May 2017th

Instead of a normal remote control of a food boat an Android is used Tablet / Phone at Carplounge autopilot. The necessary software is available free from the Google Play Goals available and can be used on any Android device with Bluetooth. The tablet is connected via Bluetooth with a transmitter box with the boat and it can now be fully controlled via the touch screen. In manual mode, the boat can be used like a normal bait boat and gesteurt via the touchscreen. The location and driving route of the boat, and orientation (compass function!) Are displayed on the map and continuously updated. In addition, promising fishing spots (spots), for example, can. were found with the help of sonar, are stored on the built-in GPS and named, for example, "Web links", "Point 1", "Home", etc.

In autopilot mode, the points can be selected and combined into a Route of the corresponding actions (left hatch / hatch rights on / Left release on / release rights turn on / light ...).

Example: 1.) go to position "Stelle1" since arrived right on Luke 2.) go to position "web links" since arrived left Luke to 3.) come back to the fishing spot and flashing once. The boat can now be loaded and automatically shuts off the route. It can be stored almost infinite number of spots and routes. an absolutely precise route guidance is made possible by accurate measurement technology such as position and acceleration sensors as well as the latest GPS and Compass technology to 90% with an accuracy of less than 30cm!

Also, the unclamping of the cord while driving, especially during extension of 2 rods at different spots is simultaneously intelligent solved: If you tense one or both cords during travel of the boat, this is detected by the built-in electronics and the boat controls corresponding counter-train so the boat is always to go on the direct course to the selected destination without unnecessary curves and thus generate string bows.

The autopilot replaces the normal remote control of the boat. However, we offer the possibility of a remote control with connecting to the autopilot. So you can choose if you want to control the boat on your tablet or the remote control. To autopilot control app all Android tablets can be used with Bluetooth. At present, our app is optimized for 7-inch tablets, soon even smartphones from 4 inch display up to 10 inch tablets the app processed. It is controlled via the touch screen of the tablet. An alternative is, for example, the Archos gamepad, which provides with the integrated joysticks driving and function control via buttons (Amazon link)

The possibilities and the intuitive operating concept of the new autopilot system is the medium completely replace normal radio remote controls for our food boats. The free, available through the Google Play Store app, are therefore constantly being developed by us and expanded. Via automatic software updates over the PlayStore we can request features, changes and enhancements to quickly update is available that the autopilot or the boat must be returned to us without. The autopilot app is updated automatically as usual tablet / smartphone.
